The British singer, 36, recalled the start of her stint in Sin City as ‘f****** rocky’ and described 2022, which saw her cancel gigs less than 24 hours before the first show, as the ‘worst year of her life’.

Her entire 24-date residency was scrapped at the 11th hour after claims that half her team had Covid and they ‘ran out of time’ for the show to be ready

On stage on Saturday night, Adele chugged a glass of wine and told the huge audience of 5,000 fans, in a clip shared to X: ‘I am so sad that this residency is over and I am so glad that it happened I really, really am.

‘It got off to such a f****** rocky rocky way, it was one of the worst years of my life. I was being punched around, it was horrible and I was told it was career suicide and Vegas would never forgive me for [cancelling] so last minute’.

Choking back tears she continued: ‘But we were talking as a team team earlier, That’s when I first started crying, had I done that show I cancelled, I certainly wouldn’t be standing her tonight doing my 100 show here’.

She went on: ‘If something doesn’t feel right to you, in anything, don’t f****** do it it doesn’t matter what, and I am talking about gut instinct, if something doesn’t feel right don’t do it’.
